Campus Visits/Open Houses/Tours

There is no better way to learn about programs or post-secondary schools than to visit in person. If possible, plan to tour the campus and program in which your child is interested. Most institutions host open houses for both parents and students wanting to find out more about their campus and programs. Check out the individual campus websites for more information.
